Detection: Multiple Okta Users With Invalid Credentials From The Same IP
DEPRECATED DETECTION
This detection has been marked as deprecated by the Splunk Threat Research team. This means that it will no longer be maintained or supported. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at research@splunk.com.
Description
DEPRECATION NOTE - This search has been deprecated and replaced with Okta Multiple Users Failing To Authenticate From Ip
. This analytic identifies multiple failed logon attempts from a single IP in a short period of time. Use this analytic to identify patterns of suspicious logins from a single source and filter as needed or use this to drive tuning for higher fidelity analytics.

multiple_okta_users_with_invalid_credentials_from_the_same_ip_filter
is an empty macro by default. It allows the user to filter out any results (false positives) without editing the SPL.

Implementation
This search is specific to Okta and requires Okta logs are being ingested in your Splunk deployment.
Known False Positives
A single public IP address servicing multiple legitmate users may trigger this search. In addition, the threshold of 5 distinct users may be too low for your needs. You may modify the included filter macro multiple_okta_users_with_invalid_credentials_from_the_same_ip_filter
to raise the threshold or except specific IP adresses from triggering this search.
